Mount Massico with its 813 meters is the highest relief of the mountain range which starts from the slopes of the Roccamonfina volcano and reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Once known as Lake of Carinola, it is a volcanic lake at the foot of mount Massico, in the municipality of Falciano del Massico.
The peak of Mount Miletto is reflecting in its placid waters where they come from.
It is an artificial lake, created in the 1960s to power the electricity station of Capriati al Volturno.
Although its name derives from the Oscan word tifata, which means holm oak, Mount Tifata is largely barren, except for the woods surrounding the northern side.
The extinct volcano of Roccamonfina is the heart of the park that protects since 1993 a territory of great naturalistic value from Campania Felix up to the border with Lazio. Eleven thousand hectares of volcanic rocks and limestone, streams and lush vegetation, dotted with ancient hamlets keeping alive the imprint of their past and the heritage of their identities.
It rises from Lake Matese and in the first part of its way, it is characterised by cascades and differences in heights.
